If you have emails associated with your domain name and you would like to keep it with your email provider, it is recommended that you change the A Record on your domain name instead of changing the Name Servers. 

Just contact your Domain vendor and ask them to point the host name www and @ to this IP Address: 54.209.65.19

This change can also be done by yourself on the back-end of your domain vendor site. 

Just look for something similar to the image below and change the www IP Address to:54.209.65.19 Remember, each vendor has their own control panel so yours might look a bit different from our screenshot.

Notes:

-These changes may take 4-6 hours to propagate through the online. So you need to be a little patient.

-In order to go live your WebsiteBox website also needs to be publish your website.
